1973: The world had completely changed when the sound of cosmic country music reached through numerous bars and venues all over the United States and across the world, something no one had ever thought about or heard of except for Gram Parsons and his band, The Fallen Angels. Emily Rhodes, who is a singer and bassist of the soft pop/rock duo, The Carpenters takes some needed time away from their crazy and prestigious tour schedule. During Christmas Eve of '72, she was asked by Parsons if she could play bass for him in his band. Knowing her history as a bassist and singer-songwriter, she couldn't let down this interesting, yet easy-going opportunity. Two years prior, Emily met a future legendary country, rock, and Americana singer-songwriter, bandleader, and guitarist known as Emmylou Harris. Fast forward to her time with the Fallen Angels, the next several months would allow their friendship to grow into something more, which would change everything in the years to come.
